COUPLING DEVICES FOR POWER LINE CARRIER SYSTEMS
SECTION ONE — GENERAL
1. Scope
This recommendation applies to coupling devices for power line carrier (PLC) systems which are connected
between the coupling capacitor(s) and the carrier-frequency connection to the PLC terminal (or to a similar coupling
device, directly or via additional equipment, in the case of retransmission).
The coupling device, in conjunction with the coupling capacitor(s) ensures:
a) the efficient transmission of carrier-frequency signals between the carrier-frequency connection and the
power line;
the safety of personnel and the protection of the low-voltage parts of the installation against the effects of
b)
the power-frequency voltage and transient overvoltages.
This recommendation also applies to coupling devices used in conjunction with PLC systems which are required
to operate over power cables.
2. Object
The object of this recommendation is to establish definitions, requirements, methods of testing and rated values
for coupling devices.
3. Service conditions
This recommendation gives detailed requirements for use under the following conditions.
3.1 Standard conditions
The standard conditions shall be those for outdoor service. Coupling devices shall be capable of their function
whether exposed to sunshine, rain, fog, hail, frost, snow, ice, etc.
3.2 Altitude
The height above sea level shall not exceed 1 000 m.
3.3 Ambient temperature
Unless otherwise agreed between manufacturer and purchaser, the ambient temperature shall be between —25 °C
and +40 °C and shall not exceed the following limits:
+30 °C for the daily average,
+20 °C for the annual average.
3.4 Power frequency
Power systems shall have a rated frequency between zero (d.c.) and 60 Hz inclusive.
3.5 Operating voltage
The rated operating voltage of the power line shall be not less than 1 000 V.
Provision for unusual service conditions
3.6
In all cases where the above conditions are not met and severe atmospheric conditions such as salt spray and
industrial pollution are to be expected, special arrangements should be made between manufacturer and purchaser.

SECTION TWO — DEFINITIONS
For the purpose of this recommendation, the following definitions apply.
4. Methods of coupling
Coupling is usually effected to one or more phase conductors of the power line (poles in the case of a d.c. power
line), phase-to-earth and phase-to-phase being the most common forms of coupling. Coupling to all three phases
of a circuit may be required in certain cases. Coupling to one or more associated insulated earth-wire conductors
is also employed.
4.1 Phase-to-earth coupling
la
Coupling to the power line effected between the conductor(s) of one phase of the line and earth (see Figures
and 2, pages 20 and 22).
4.2 Phase-to-phase coupling
Coupling to the power line effected between the conductor(s) of one phase and the conductor(s) of another
page 21). The two phases may belong to the same circuit or
phase of the same line (see Figures lb and 1 e,
to different circuits of the power line (intercircuit coupling).
Note. — Coupling between individual conductors of a phase bundle is a special application.
5. Coupling device
An arrangement of elements which contribute to ensure, together with one or more associated coupling capacitors,
the transmission, under prescribed conditions, of carrier-frequency signals between one or more conductors of
the power line and the carrier-frequency connection (see Figures 1 and 2).
These elements, alone or together, contribute to all, or part of, the following functions:
Note. —
tuning, designed to compensate for the reactive component of the coupling capacitor(s) impedance, in order to promote
—
tuning device,
the efficient transmission of carrier-frequency signals. This function may be performed by a
impedance matching between the power line and the carrier-frequency connection. This function may be performed by a
—
transformer or autotransformer,
galvanic isolation between primary and secondary terminals of the coupling device. This function may be performed by
—
the above-mentioned transformer, if present,
draining to earth of the power-frequency current derived by the coupling capacitor(s). This function may be performed
—
of the previously mentioned transformer, if present,
drain coil, or by the primary winding
by an inductance, termed
limitation of voltage surges coming from the power line, at the terminals of the coupling device. This function may be
—
lightning arresters suitably arranged in the coupling device,
performed by
direct and efficient earthing, when necessary, of the primary terminal(s) of the coupling device. This function may be
—
performed by an earthing switch.
5.1 Earth terminal
A terminal of the coupling device which is intended to be connected directly to the local station earth.
5.2 Primary terminal
A terminal of the coupling device which is intended to be connected to the low-voltage terminal of the coupling
capacitor.
5.3 Secondary terminal
A terminal of the coupling device which is intended to be connected to the carrier-frequency connection.
6. Communication terms for coupling devices
6.1 Nominal line-side impedance (Z1)
The impedance which the coupling device, together with the associated coupling capacitor(s), is designed to
match on the line side, and to which the requirements refer (see Figure 3, page 22).

— 11 —
6.2 Nominal equipment-side impedance (Z2)
The impedance which the coupling device is designed to match, on the equipment side, and to which the require-
ments refer (see Figure 3, page 22).
6.3 Composite loss
The composite loss (see I.E.V. 55-05-175) brought about by the quadripole made up of the coupling device and
associated coupling capacitor(s) having the specified capacitance and assumed to have no loss, terminated by the
nominal line-side and equipment-side impedance.
6.4 Return loss
The return loss (see I.E.V. 55-05-195) of the quadripole made up of the coupling device and associated coupling
capacitor(s) having the specified capacitance and assumed to have no loss, respectively terminated by the nominal
line-side and equipment-side impedance.
6.5 Available bandwidth
The frequency band within which the composite loss does not exceed, and the return losses do not fall short
of the specified values.
6.6 Carrier frequency working range
The range of carrier frequencies within which the available bandwidth of a coupling device can be set.
6.7 Nominal peak-envelope power
The peak-envelope power for which the coupling device has been designed compatible with the requirements
for intermodulation.
SECTION THREE — REQUIREMENTS
7. Safety and protection requirements of the coupling device
7.1
General
The coupling device shall meet the following requirements irrespective of whether or not the protective devices
of an associated coupling capacitor or capacitor voltage transformer contribute to the safety and protection of
the coupling device. The design of the coupling device shall be such as to prevent the occurrence of dangerous
potentials on the carrier-frequency connection due to the service voltage or transient overvoltages which may
occur on the power line.
Note. — There are two types of transient overvoltages to be taken into account:
a) Overvoltages due chiefly to the operation of switchgear. Such overvoltages may have amplitudes of the same order of
magnitude as the service voltage and be transferred to the low-voltage side of the coupling capacitor because of the steep-
fronted or high-frequency nature of the transients.
b)
Atmospheric overvoltages which are also transferred to the low-voltage side of the coupling capacitor for the same reason.
The coupling device shall be designed and built to ensure that a fault on the power line shall not in general cause
a permanent interruption in the functioning of the coupling device. If, under abnormal power-system conditions,
the values specified in Sub-clauses 7.5, 8.1 and 8.2 are exceeded, this shall be a matter for special agreement between
manufacturer and purchaser.
7.2
Earthing of the primary terminal
The coupling device shall be so designed that the impedance at power frequency between the primary terminal
and the earth terminal is as low as possible and in no case in excess of 20 Q. This low impedance shall be
ensured by a device such as a drain coil or matching transformer winding as specified in Sub-clause 7.3.

— 13 —
Drain coil or matching transformer winding
7.3
The drain coil or matching transformer winding shall:
offer a maximum guarantee of continuity of connection to the earth terminal;
a)
withstand any of the above-mentioned overvoltages which may occur on the power line, taking into account
b)
the effect of the main arrester (Sub-clause 7.5).
7.4 Earthing switch
An earthing switch shall be provided for making a temporary direct connection between the primary and earth
requirements of Sub-clause 7.3 also apply to this device.
terminals. The .
The method of operating the earthing switch shall take due regard of national requirements for safety.
It is recommended that an indication of "on" and "off" positions of the earthing switch be clearly visible.
7.5 Main arrester
A lightning arrester shall be connected as directly as possible between the primary and earth terminals and shall
be capable of protecting the coupling device and the carrier-frequency connection.
Notes 1. — For this purpose, at present, either arresters of the air-gap type or those of the non-linear resistor type are used.
If an air-gap type arrester is used, it must be robust and allow easy maintenance; moreover, it is recommended that its
power-frequency sparkover voltage be of the order of 2 kV r.m.s. and that it be able to sustain an impulse discharge current
of wave shape 8/20 gs of at least 5 kA. It is desirable that the arrester be capable of sustaining a power-frequency current
of at least 5 kA r.m.s. for a period of 0.2 s while ensuring, even if damaged, that the other parts of the coupling device
remain adequately protected.
If a non-linear resistor type arrester is employed, it is recommended that its rated voltage be of the order of 1 kV (corre-
sponding to an impulse sparkover voltage of about 4 kV) and that it be able to sustain an impulse discharge current of
wave shape 8/20.ts of at least 5 kA. See I EC Publication 60, High-voltage Test Techniques, and I EC Publication 99-1,
Lightning Arresters, Part 1: Non-linear Resistor Type Arresters for A.C. Systems, 2nd edition).

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This consolidated version of the official IEC Standard and its amendment has been prepared
for user convenience.

INTRODUCTION
This part of IEC 60264 is one of a series which deals with insulated wires used for windings in
electrical equipment. The series has three groups describing:
1) Winding wires − Test methods (IEC 60851);
2) Specifications for particular types of winding wires (IEC 60317);
3) Packaging of winding wires (IEC 60264).

PACKAGING OF WINDING WIRES –
Part 4-1: Methods of test –
Delivery spools made from thermoplastic materials

1 Scope
This part of IEC 60264 defines methods of test for delivery spools for winding wires made from
thermoplastic materials in order to determine conformity with the established performance
requirements for their properties.
2 General notes on methods of test
Unless otherwise specified, all tests shall be carried out within a temperature range from 15 °C
to 35 °C and a relative humidity from 45 % to 75 %.
In case of dispute, the spools shall be preconditioned at a temperature of (23 ± 2) °C for 24 h.
3 Spool irregularities
The surface and construction shall be visually inspected.
4 Spool marking
The spool marking shall be visually inspected.
5 Mass
The mass of the spool shall be measured by an apparatus capable of determining the mass
with the accuracy required in the relevant specification.
6 Spool dimensions
The spool dimensions shall be checked using standard measuring instruments.
7 True running deviation
The true running deviation of the inside faces of the flanges and of the surface of the barrel
shall be determined with a measuring device as shown in Figure 1.
8 High temperature test
The spool shall be conditioned for a period of 4 h in an oven with forced air circulation at a
temperature specified in the relevant specification.
The spool shall be allowed to cool to room temperature before the dimensional checks, as
specified in clause 6, and the true running deviation checks in clause 7 are carried out.

9 Impact test on flanges
9.1 At normal ambient conditions
After conditioning the spool for a minimum of 24 h at a temperature of (20 ± 5) °C the spool
shall be tested in the apparatus as shown in Figure 2.
For practical reasons the hammer shall be dropped on the flanges as indicated in either
Figure 3a (cylindrical barrelled spool) or Figure 3b (taper barrelled spool) or Figure 3c
(cylindrical barrelled spool with conical flanges). The hammer shall be a solid cylinder with a
minimum diameter of 40 mm. The surface that strikes the flange shall be flat and smooth.
9.2 At low temperature
The spool shall be conditioned for a period of 24 h at a temperature specified in the relevant
specification. Following conditioning, the spool shall be tested within 10 min in the apparatus
as shown in Figure 2.
10 Deformation under load
The spool shall be subjected to a deformation test in the "as received" condition which shall be
carried out at a temperature of (20 ± 5) °C, using a suitably equipped tensile machine. The
spool flanges shall be clamped with the test jigs as shown in Figure 4. The half disks in each
jig shall be in contact with the surface of the two sides of each flange. The clearance between
the disk and the barrel, when using Figure 4a, shall be (1,5 ± 0,5) mm.
+0,5
When using Figure 4b, the clearance between the disk and the barrel shall be (0,5    ) mm.

When using Figure 4c for cylindrical or tapered barrelled spools with one conical flange, the
+0,5
clearance between the disk and the barrel for the flat flange shall be (1,5    ) mm and for the
